Virat Kohli once again got off to a good start on Day 1 of the Oval Test. He looked good for a big one but nicked one off the bowling of Ollie Robinson soon after reaching his half-century.
Deep Dasgupta pointed out that it has been a strange patch for the Indian skipper, not being able to convert the starts.
Deep Dasgupta said on BBC’s Test Match Special podcast:
The cricketer-turned broadcaster reckons that Virat Kohli would have tried to play his dismissal delivery much straighter if he was in the right frame of mind.
“It was actually a good delivery” – Deep Dasgupta on Virat Kohli’s dismissal
Deep Dasgupta lauded the way England’s seamers bowled on Day 1 of the fourth Test against India. He felt that top-order batters, including Virat Kohli, got out to genuinely good deliveries. However, you might expect them to see off those spells and try to capitalize later in the day.
The openers and the middle-order fell without scoring big runs. No one except for Virat Kohli crossed the 20-run mark. It took a half-century from Shardul Thakur, in the lower order, to propel India’s score to 191 runs.
